Despite quick implementation of reperfusion therapies, a few patients with high-risk, acute, massive, pulmonary embolism (PE) remain highly hemodynamically unstable. Others have absolute contraindication to receive reperfusion therapies. Venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) might lower their right ventricular overload, improve hemodynamic status, and restore tissue oxygenation.
ECMO-related complications and 90-day mortality were analyzed for 17 highly unstable, ECMO-treated, massive PE patients admitted to a tertiary-care center (2006-2015). Hospital- discharge survivors were assessed for long-term health-related quality of life. A systematic review of this topic was also conducted.
Seventeen high-risk PE patients [median age 51 (range 18-70) years, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) 78 (45-95)] were placed on VA-ECMO for 4 (1-12) days. Among 15 (82%) patients with pre-ECMO cardiac arrest, seven (41%) were cannulated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and eight (47%) underwent pre-ECMO thrombolysis. Pre-ECMO median blood pressure, pH, and blood lactate were, respectively: 42 (0-106) mmHg, 6.99 (6.54-7.37) and 13 (4-19) mmol/L. Ninety-day survival was 47%. Fifteen (88%) patients suffered in-ICU severe hemorrhages with no impact on survival. Like other ECMO-treated patients, ours reported limitations of all physical domains but preserved mental health 19 (4-69) months post-ICU discharge.
VA-ECMO could be a lifesaving rescue therapy for patients with high-risk, acute, massive PE when thrombolytic therapy fails or the patient is too sick to benefit from surgical thrombectomy. Because heparin-induced clot dissolution and spontaneous fibrinolysis allows ECMO weaning within several days, future studies should investigate whether VA-ECMO should be the sole therapy or completed by additional mechanical clot-removal therapies in this setting.
尽管再灌注治疗实施迅速,但仍有少数高危、急性、大面积肺栓塞(PE)患者血流动力学高度不稳定。其他患者存在接受再灌注治疗的绝对禁忌证。静脉-动脉体外膜肺氧合(VA-ECMO)可能降低其右心室负荷,改善血流动力学状态,并恢复组织氧合。
分析了一家三级医疗中心收治的17例接受ECMO治疗的高度不稳定的大面积PE患者(2006 - 2015年)的ECMO相关并发症和90天死亡率。对出院存活者进行长期健康相关生活质量评估。还对该主题进行了系统综述。
17例高危PE患者[中位年龄51(18 - 70)岁,简化急性生理学评分II(SAPS II)78(45 - 95)]接受VA-ECMO治疗4(1 - 12)天。在15例(82%)ECMO治疗前发生心脏骤停的患者中,7例(41%)在心肺复苏期间插管,8例(47%)在ECMO治疗前接受溶栓治疗。ECMO治疗前的中位血压、pH值和血乳酸分别为:42(0 - 106)mmHg、6.99(6.54 - 7.37)和13(4 - 19)mmol/L。90天生存率为47%。15例(88%)患者在重症监护病房(ICU)发生严重出血,但对生存无影响。与其他接受ECMO治疗的患者一样,我们的患者报告在ICU出院后19(4 - 69)个月所有身体领域均有受限,但心理健康状况良好。
当溶栓治疗失败或患者病情过重无法从手术取栓中获益时,VA-ECMO可能是高危、急性、大面积PE患者的一种挽救生命的治疗方法。由于肝素诱导的血栓溶解和自发纤溶作用可使患者在数天内撤机,未来研究应探讨在这种情况下VA-ECMO是否应作为唯一治疗方法,或是否应辅以其他机械性血栓清除治疗。
